Bee Gee Robin Gibb fighting to stay alive

Mere months after Robin Gibb declared himself 'in remission' from colon cancer that had reportedly spread to his liver, the Bee Gees tenor is fighting for his life yet again.

The 62-year-old disco icon is reportedly in a coma after contracting pneumonia, according to his website.

'Sadly the reports are true that Robin has contracted pneumonia and is in a coma,' says a message on the RobinGibb.com homepage.

'We are all hoping and praying that he will pull through.'

While specific details regarding Gibb's condition are being kept under wraps (rumours that doctors found a secondary tumour are unconfirmed), sources told the UK Sun that the 'Stayin' Alive' songster is very ill and his family is keeping vigil at his bedside in a London hospital.

News of Gibb's latest health scare comes just a few weeks after he underwent emergency surgery on March 26 to remove a 'blood clot that caused perforation'. - eonline.com

Mixed bag for Google

In its investigation of whether Google's Street View cars illegally collected personal data from WiFi networks, the Federal Communications Commission has reached a decision that seems like a mix of good news and bad news for the search giant.

The good news: The FCC concluded that there was no precedent for the commissions' enforcement of the law in connection with WiFi networks. The bad news: The FCC is proposing to fine the company $25,000 because it 'deliberately impeded and delayed the investigation'. - techcrunch.com

Superhuman vision

Contact lens wearers can get a new perspective on their environment with the latest vision technology - contact lenses that let the wearer focus on two fields of view at once.

Wearers can keep an eye on a projected image while their surrounding scenery can also be looked at - resulting in superhuman vision.

The human eye on its own can only focus on one distance at a time. The contact lenses will let two images be viewed at the same time.

The projected image goes through the retina display, while the background image is still visible. - mashable.com
